Hints:
asteroid
If I have told you these details about the asteroid, and made a note of its number for you, it is on account of the grown-ups and their ways. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they demand: "How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him. If you were to say to the grown-ups: "I saw a beautiful house made of rosy brick, with geraniums in the windows and doves on the roof," they would not be able to get any idea of that house at all. You would have to say to them: "I saw a house that cost $20,000." Then they would exclaim: "Oh, what a pretty house that is!"
我给你们讲关于小行星B612的这些细节,并且告诉你们它的编号,这是由于 这些大人的缘故。这些大人们就爱数目字。当你对大人们讲起你的一个新朋友时, 他们从来不向你提出实质性的问题。他们从来不讲:“他说话声音如何啊?他喜 爱什么样的游戏啊?他是否收集蝴蝶标本呀?”他们却问你:“他多大年纪呀? 弟兄几个呀?体重多少呀?他父亲挣多少钱呀?”他们以为这样才算了解朋友。 如果你对大人们说:“我看到一幢用玫瑰色的砖盖成的漂亮的房子,它的窗户上 有天竺葵,屋顶上还有鸽子……”他们怎么也想象不出这种房子有多么好。必须对 他们说:“我看见了一幢价值十万法郎的房子。”那么他们就惊叫道:“多么漂亮的房子啊!”
